I don't get hung over, I just stay drunk...

It is beautiful. I heard it will be 70 in Denver later this week. Bye bye snow.

She hates winter like me Honestly my X3 doesnt like it either. The stupid "somethings" in the suspension creak and groan over speed bumps.

By the way, someone answer this: What's worse for driving......wet or dry snow?

The reason I ask....I know wet snow melts in to slush and invariably freezes. But the first time I experienced the dry, powdery snow was not fun. It was a cold, 23F midday and my mom was taking my friend and I to someone's house. Cars were doing 360s on the highway and the X3 was sliding around like a slithering snake.

For me dry snow is easier because i know what i'm driving on and I can expect a certain type of traction, wet snow tougher because you can't always tell if roads are wet or it's black ice, plus the slush just throws you around.

I love snow... just hate shoveling and the idiots that don't know how to drive in it. Don't think I'll see much in Tulsa with an avg seasonal total of 9 inches.

The wife tells me about the snow and all the branches on the ground back home in Denver and here I am stuck in Sunny San Fran

Not missing the snow just yet, its still too early for me but fun as it disappears so quick.
